Greatesthitsradio Anmeldelser 353

The female newsreader, who sounds about 12, continues to chat on about things which don't matter in the least, like how many hours of sunshine we've had (!!!) and continues to ignore the big stories around the world.

Most of the presenters on Greatest hits are good but Kate Thornton has to be the dullest person on radio.
I have to switch off between 1-4pm.

I have today looked at my online bank account and have noticed a debit which I did not recognise. Apparently I signed up for a 1 month free trial period which I had forgotten about. The name for the debit is nothing like Rayo, Greatest Hits, Magic Classical. Very annoying and confusimg and needs correcting.

The music is repetitive, the ads are too long and AWFUL, and apart from Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo the presenters are appalling. Even Ken today played some DREADFUL music, why ? The newsreader (female) has no news to speak of and apparently has no idea what's actually going on in the world. So I'm not listening to this rubbish any more.

Totally rubbish and better when it was local eg: radio Norwich999 or the beach 103.4 or 97.4 as no local traffic news ken Bruce is doggy n horrible station who want to listen to Ken babble on GIVE KEN BRUCE THE SACK NO LOCAL NUMBER TO REPORT TRAFFIC ON EAST COAST 🤬😡

For the love of music PLEASE!!!
please expand and change more often your PLAYLIST !!!
It's very noticeable these days.
Getting annoying!!

This radio station in my opinion is a total scam. They reckon to have a competition where you text in a number and write cash , then ask for a minimum of £2.50 to be entered where the draw will end in the Friday of that week, Ken Bruce says all you have to do is answer your your phone, and the winner would be paid £650, 000. Never hear of any winners, and when I googled this competition it stated they had never had a competition this week. W/E Friday yeah21/11/25. RIP OFF. Take them off the air.

In the main I enjoy listening and do so in car. The range of music can be a bit limited though. They play the same songs over and over generally 80's disco
How about a bit of blues or rock

The ads are awful. The sulky solicitor whining about potholes is the worst. I turn off when I hear him sulking.

Was a happy listener to Ken Bruce, with relatvely few issues. Two weeks ago it failed to connect, and I get a never-ending circle of non-connection. The wheel can go round for 30 minutes. I've tried multiple browsers and checked my broadband speed. You've lost another listener. Also try complaining! I don't have two weeks to trawl through the website that could easily have a button saying 'Complaints'.

We love listening to the music you play, love Ken Bruce and popmaster. But the large winning payouts on Fridays, would be better shared by more people instead of just one person. You give away £600,000 at moment why not share it with more winners, still life changing amounts. Thank-you.

I moved to GHR when Ken Bruce jumped ship, and to avoid the Ads paid for Premium. Having had time to listen, it is clear GHR doesn’t have the calibre of presenters, I like Ken, and Simon Mayo’s album show is superb. However, I have cancelled Premium due to the repetitive nature of music, selling their phone in comp is extremely frustrating. It hasn’t been on in my car due to the length of the Ads. GHR really need to look at their strategy going forward.

Awful, nauseating station (especially during the daytime) and one to approach with caution if you have mental health issues but great if you have a memory of a chuffin' Goldfish.

The same repetitive ads getting played over and over again - That womans voice on the Tesco ads irritates me, especially as she sounds so 'middle working class' yet then goes and takes a gob-full of whatever food she is advertising and carries on talking with the food in her gob - Awful !

All the 'unwanted gold' and the 'gamble responsibly' ads wind me up as well.

Endless jingles - my worst one being 'Download the Rayo app' which gets on my wick.

Most of the presenters are boring or annoying or both -

Kate Thornton needs to find another job (ideally not on radio) as I find her extremely irritating - She thinks she is clever and funny but fails at both.

Ken Bruce seemed better when he was on Radio 2 but since joining GHR, he seems to have turned into an utter bore-fest and has become the 'Ken Barlow of the airwaves' - the only good thing about him now is Popmaster.

Simon Mayo and his also boring/unfunny entourage are about as entertaining as a dull, wet Monday morning in Doncaster and what is the obsession with Sylvester's 'You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)' as he seems to play it most days of the week (??)

Martin Kemp talks to you like you're a bit simple and can be predictable and repetitive with him consistently saying 'I've gorra great 80s mixtape cammin' right ap an yar ganna laaarve it'.

Andy Crane in the evening with his 'Top 10 At 10' slot is ok as some of the tracks are not what you hear during the daytime but he does whitter on a bit and tries too hard to be funny and often fails,

Jackie Brambles is ok as she has some interesting guests interviewed on her show.

The station also needs to realise artists like ELO, Bob Marley, The Police, U2, Queen, Dire Straits, Rose Royce, The Bee Gees, Sister Sledge, Chic, Bruce Springsteen, T-Rex, The Jacksons, Lionel Ritchie, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Wham and Madonna had other hits besides the same 2 or 3 they keep playing.

This station also seems obsessed with ABBA (whose music I utterly detest) - You can guarantee at least one ABBA song every hour.

And you can guarantee you will hear 'Don't You Want Me ?', 'Come On Eileen', 'Layla', 'Brown Eyed Girl', 'Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now' and the truly vile 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody Who Loves Me' get played every single day of the week,

There is definitely room for improvement but nothing will change as it is all about making money rather than keeping people entertained with a wide range of music.

The 2 stars are for Rossie and mainly Ken, which are the only reasons I listen anymore. I turn over to Absolute 80’s after popmaster as I just can not listen to the rest.
The ads are terrible and getting more and more woke by the day, as with the whole station (especially pushing child vaccines 🤯), but my main bugbear are the newsss reportersss essspecially the sssnake impersssonator Dan Davisssss!!! I have to turn the news down when that pillock comes on. I’m a great believer in live and let live, but what’s with the ‘vocal indicator badge’ you hear more and more these days??? Please ju’st’ tone it down a bit 🙏

I do like sometimes listening but I also like a variety of music like 60s to now in one station the station I do tune in does 60s to now if this does happens I will listen more

Could be good if it stopped dropping out, web and Alexa feeds.
Pay for advert free but still getting gambling adverts !

I pay for advert free on greatest hits radio - not sure why when I have to listen to their income generating advert (I think it’s called ‘Make me a Mug’) every 10-minutes.

Apart from the Simon Mayo and Ken Bruce shows this station is repetitive, cringeworthy and for lottery addicts (for lottery - read - we (Rayo) take the majority of the money for our profits).

I wanted to give a "no star" rating, but there's no option. Greatest Hits Radio is not about entertaining us with great music. It's all about playing the same songs every day... DJs blabbering rubbish and for too long... Too many jingles... An INFURIATING amount of commercials every few minutes.... News and Weather. I don't understand why anyone would want to listen to this. I listen to my music at home from my extensive library, no ads, no interruptions. Greatest Hits Radio is a disgrace.

This radio station is one of the worst in the UK it keeps playing the same music an advertising gambling sites ridiculous I have unturned it out of both of our cars it should be renamed greatest shites radio you should avoid listen to this radio station the music on this radio station absolutely awful it's always been repeated over and over again the DJs really annoying about the 80s radio music Ken Bruce with from radio 2 why would you leave radio 2 and work with this disgusting radio station and why have you put your your advertisements on the Clacton buses and this Rado station has djs that say really bad language which is apling and not a great experience if you have kids and play it in a school mini bus I would recommend you change the station

Same bands and artists all the time queen elo abba Madonna the police Elton John. Even the hour before Ken they put the same bands in that hour. So bloody boring. nation 80s is good play songs you haven’t heard for ages

This radio station is purely a gambling marketing advertisement! The gambling encouraged is bad enough but the lies told on the news is astonishing! Typically - right wing propaganda that's not challenged by the truth! So gambling to attract the vulnerable and news lies to the same vulnerable people - a propaganda dream - I wonder who's funding it?
